Azerbaijan showed interest for the Turkish vehicle PARS, produced and manufactured by the Defence Company FNSS.
The Pars is an Amphibious 6x6 wheeled armoured vehicle family, there is also an 8×8 version. Pars 6x6 is being proposed to the Turkish Army and in 2006 the 8x8 vehicle was tested by the Malaysian Army against the Swiss Piranha IIIC and the Finnish Patria AMV. In 2010 FNSS Savunma Sistemleri Inc. has signed a letter of intent for Malaysia's 8x8 Armored Vehicles Program for 257 8x8 Pars vehicles to be manufactured locally in Malaysia.
The full range of PARS vehicles will be presented at the International Defence Industry fair in Istanbul, which will be held from the 10 - 13 May 2011. According to Turkish sources, Azerbaijan, Jordan, Vietnam, Algeria and other states have already displayed interest in buying the vehicle.
